Time to morph......all good things change and evolve. We are no different. 365 started as a knitting group and evolved into a wonderful hub of activity, full of friends and education. We have been here at our current location 365 days, plus 16 days, as of May 19th. And at the end of the day at 6pm. We will turn the closed sign over and forever lock the doors.

There will not be a clearance sale, because this is not "365 going out of business" . NOPE.. We have outgrown our current location and we are not willing to sign an extended lease. Our online store will be activated and in full force by the end of June. We will be available for private lessons. We will continue to be Kromski Dealers. We will spend the summer regrouping, deciding how we want to Morph our business. You see, we love what we do, the passion to teach, share and work with fiber has not ended, but instead we are going to take it to another level. And we will enjoy every moment of discovery.
Keep checking back with us............we will continue our blog and will share our summer with you!!!

Time to teach the Wounded Warriors again....April 17th is the Spring Muster.....while our soldiers are recovering and healing, they need activities to keep them busy. Last year we taught MANY to knit/crochet and spin and they not only excelled, as all soldiers do, but they thoroughly enjoyed it. We gave each soldier a gift bag (and one for their spouse or daughter if they so chose) Each bag had a thank you card written from a citizen and a skein of yarn or two. A crochet hook/or knitting needles.......or a drop spindle with fiber. Lessons were given right there on the spot....and it was a wonderful evening.Please send Donations to

Potluck on April 13th....Friday 6pm...hmm Friday the 13th......it's our lucky day!!!! The way I figure it is.....no one expects good luck on that day....most predict bad luck....so the Good Luck has to go somewhere....let it come to us positive people!!! Join us....For Potluck and Good Luck.....Bring a dish to share. RSVP early....563-285-9985 Bring your spinning wheel, knitting /crochet project...heck,... even a coloring book will do....Just get over to 365 and have some fun...I will be demonstrating how to make a crocheted flower. Bring a crochet hook and yarn if you want to learn.

Most of my spinning has been done on a drop spindle....and some on a Louet....without a lot of success on my part....but with the Fantasia, I am finding I really CAN spin!!! This is my first skein, and with Scott's help my first true plied yarn. I AM NOW CAPABLE OF SITTING DOWN "AND FROM START TO FINISH" MAKE YARN! It's the little things that make our little fiber world rock! THANK YOU SCOTT for your patience and lessons!

We left Arizona and it's Saguaro Laden mountains...in search of greener land and cooler temps only to find ourselves most comfortable in familiar surroundings! Western Towns, cowboys and reminders of days gone past!

These photos were taken in Pioneer Park Village...just a few minutes from where we live in IOWA.We really like this place so much that we will be demonstrating again here in the Spring.

What are we demonstrating??? Well............it's not gunfighting.....

It's certainly not fashion!!! Although that was fun!

It wasn't farming......

Nor housekeeping! Actually I could live here with a few plumbing modifications!

It was to Demonstrate Fiber Arts......Spinning, hand carding and Drop Spindle.....and Lizzy demonstrated...

KNITTING..........Lizzy has embraced our love of Fiber Arts and really enjoys knitting. We had a wonderful time doing this demonstration and we miss Lizzy much since she has moved to Wisconsin.There are many events going on in Pioneer Village....a great place to take the kids and remember what it was like for the early settlers that paved our way, and endured many hardships we could not imagine! Thank you Pioneer Village for this experience.
